MMA Crash Course - 12 Essential Skills You MUST Acquire!

The most basic MMA skills you need to know when you begin your martial arts training! This video was shot in January 2020 after only 5 training sessions to cover the basic STRATEGY in each situation!
Each one of these situations will become infinitely complex as we delve into more detail and start acquiring more skills, but we've found that starting with the BIG PICTURE is very helpful for beginners!
In order to progress faster, we also employ the concept of PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE, so our students learn how to problem-solve in real-time and apply their techniques realistically, while having time to think about what they are doing, and ensuring safety in training!
Featuring famous guitarist and music producer Pierre-Luc Rioux!

Hello,
Pour l'instant suite à une grave blessure au genou je ne donne plus cours. Mais j'étais instructeur en krav maga et capoeira. J ai pratiqué un peu d'autres arts martiaux sports de combat également. Ta façon de donner cours est très similaire à ce que je faisais tout simplement parceque c est comme ça que je retiens le mieux et progresse le plus. Avoir une vue globale. Puis subdiviser par famille, par base, par similarité. En attaque et en défense et construire à partir de là. Un plan un peu à la façon d'un ingénieur...ou chaque tiroir ( connaissance) se base sur un autre acquis....et on construit on construit. Personnellement qd il y a une logique, une progression et que c'est bien décomposé et expliqué. Les progrès sont beaucoup plus rapides et beaucoup plus durables parce qu en plus de la technique, c'est le concept qui est acquis.
Excellent boulot. A chaque fois un plaisir tes vidéos

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Merci pour le commentaire, Chris! Et j’espère que ton genou sera réhabilité et tu pourras pratiquer à nouveau bientôt. C’est bon à savoir que tu opères de façon similaire, et que nos vidéos te sont utiles pour continuer à étudier malgré ta blessure. Bon courage. - Patrick
